Intranet problem :"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (k) isn't associated with any program."

Creating an intranet of a collection of Safety Videos, and am linking to a video thru a picture icon in the form of: <a href="K:\'link to movie"> ''movie title''</a>

Preview in IE9 works, the movie starts when the splash screen is clicked, but in Firefox, I get the alert "Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because the protocol (k) isn't associated with any program."

InterLan's VLC is the default video player on the PCs. I don't want to put video controls all over the page.

I code for XHTML 1.1 strict with CSS 2.1, and Firefox 5 handles all my quirky styles while IE9 has a few issues, so Firefox is my choice browser.

Looking at my Options in Firefox, "Windows Media Audio/Video file" is set to use VLC.exe, so I'm still looking to resolve this.

Any Suggestions??

You need to use the file:// protocol (file:///k:/link_to_movie). Easiest to see which links to use is to open a file via File > Open File

Thanks, I knew it was a simple answer.

With all the code I've seen not work with IE9, I'm surprised that this had.
